Hurricane season is here, and it’s the perfect time to make sure your insurance protections are ready long before a storm makes landfall. At Auto Insurance Depot, our team always encourages proactive preparation to help protect what matters most.
Here are a few key areas to review this season:
• Hurricane deductibles
Many homeowners policies include a separate hurricane deductible based on a percentage of your home’s insured value. Make sure you understand what triggers it and what your out-of-pocket cost would be.
• Flood and windstorm coverage
Flood damage usually requires separate flood insurance, and some policies exclude damage from certain types of windstorms. Reviewing any gaps now can help you avoid surprises later.
• Claims preparation
Document your home before a storm. After a hurricane, take photos and videos of any damage before cleanup begins, and hold on to receipts for repairs.
Our team is here to help you review your coverage or explore additional protection if needed. Have questions? Drop them in the comments or reach out to us directly.
